forces Flashcards
vector
magnitude and direction
scalar
magnitude
resultant force
overall force acting on an object
energy transferred means there is ____ done
work
elastic limit
when something is stretched too far and can’t return to the same shape
acceleration formula
△v / t
speed of sound in air at different temperatures
0°C = 331m/s
20°C = 346 m/s
100°C = 386 m/s
What is a joule?
energy transferred (work done) when a force of 1N causes an object to move 1m
Newton’s 1st Law
an object will remain at rest or continue at constant velocity unless a resultant force acts
resultant force of 0= constant speed
Newton’s 2nd Law
the acceleration of an object when a resultant force acts is proportional to its mass
Newton’s 3rd Law
if body A exerts a force on body B, then B will exert and equal and opposite force on A
momentum formula
momentum = mass x velocity
force formula
F = m x a
mass x acceleration
what is the speed of light?
3 x 10 ^8 m/s
waves travel at this speed through a vacuum or through air
Sievert
measure of the human response to radiation
